Last year, in advance of a potential Clinton presidency, the Clinton Foundation announced massive changes to its size and scope. In the aftermath of her loss, the foundation is still figuring out its direction and facing some tough realities — as Clinton returns to help raise money.

The permanent injunction against the law follows years of litigation, but will be appealed. The Justice Department, which once backed the challengers to the state's voter ID law, reversed course once Trump took office — urging that recent amendments to the law eliminated its discriminatory effects.

The former 49ers quarterback remains unsigned, and a group of organizers are protesting the "retaliatory act of aggression against Mr. Kaepernick's protest of the American National Anthem during the 2016 NFL season."

Trump critics and once-hopeful allies alike remain deeply bothered by the president’s response to Charlottesville. “When the moral fiber of a nation is at stake, the people cannot rely on a morally bankrupt leader to guide them out of darkness into light.”

"I'm not going to do it tonight ... but he should feel fine," the president said. The word "pardon" wasn't used, but was clearly suggested. On Wednesday, Arpaio said he appreciates Trump's "nice comments and support."

A group of 66 former state and territorial attorneys general, from both parties, urge that "all who seek to equivocate in times of moral crisis" should look to the 1976 response of Alabama's attorney general at the time to the Ku Klux Klan: "[K]iss my ass."

The president and CEO of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund sent a letter to the White House with a simple recommendation for next month’s HBCU conference: Don’t do this — at least, not right now.

After the election, a new “back to the basics” approach at Planned Parenthood made organizing a priority during the months-long health care debate. The next project: recruiting and training hundreds of volunteers spread out around the country.

And now the state's governor's primary — between two candidates named Stacey — is a microcosm of a larger Democratic existential crisis, bringing delicate but explosive questions about race and party politics to the fore.

A number of high-profile liberal and progressive advocacy groups want Stephen Bannon and Sebastian Gorka to be fired. While groups announced they would call for Stephen Miller's firing as well, none of the advocates mentioned him on a Sunday call.

Berkeley has faced prior protests this year that have grown violent. The Alameda County Sheriff's Office is trying to do a better job preparing to handle a planned late August rally by tracking what white nationalists are saying — and as a result, a sheriff's office employee said, they accidentally retweeted Spencer.

“This is an American issue,” Ronna Romney McDaniel said on Monday — the third time in as many days that she’s been more forceful than the president in response to racist rallies around a Confederate monument in Charlottesville, Virginia. “I’m a mom. I don’t want my kids growing up in a country that says this is OK.”

Saturday’s deadly white supremacist rally in Charlottesville came amid debate across the South about removing Confederate monuments and symbols. Did Charlottesville change how Southern Republicans view that debate? BuzzFeed News asked more than 15 officials; only two responded.

While Sanders works "inside the system," his outside political group is suddenly rallying progressives against an old enemy: the DNC. Nina Turner, Our Revolution president, does not have good things to say. “They tried to seduce us with donuts and water."

Nikki Haley didn’t end the debate over the Confederate flag when she banished it from the South Carolina Capitol. A candidate to succeed her as governor now proclaims herself a “proud Daughter of the Confederacy.” And a pro-Confederate candidate in Virginia is encouraged after a better-than-expected performance there.

In a new interview with activist DeRay Mckesson, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio advocated for "a version" of broken windows policing. "Address little things that come from big things. You respond to quality of life concerns that come from the community," he said.
